I do not know the specifics (countries etc) but our news reports here said that after Dec 2005 (or was it 2006?) everyone entering the US from specific areas of the world need a passport, that EVERYONE entering the country by sea or by air would need a passport to enter the US after Dec 2007, and that after Dec 2008 EVERYONE entering the US would need a passport, period. This all includes US citizens returning (I have no idea about from PR) (this last one being people who are driving in from anywhere). I do not know when US citizens will have to start using passports to get home.. 85% of Canadians already have and use passports - not so with US citizens - so they reported. You guys will be the ones most affected by this.. I expect immigration is going to be very busy...
